Walsh Loses Alienist Move In Hickman Trial
In Los Angeles on January 30, defense attorney Jerome Walsh failed to gain court appointment of three alienists to examine William Edward Hickman. Judge Trabucco ruled the motion overruled, noting it would delay the trial. Walsh testified Hickman lacks funds and faces an unfair fight against state experts. He disclosed spending $600 of his own money, and efforts to raise funds in Kansas City continue. Hickman appeared nervous as proceedings continued and the jury panel was temporarily affected by a sheriff’s relative on the panel.
